Super busy day at work… We have a deadline coming up next week and I have some travel for the rest of this week so I spent a lot of time making sure that stuff with still keep working while it was gone.
Towards the end of the day, Diane sent me a picture she’d seen on CNN of our good friend Ben getting escorted out o a public meeting where JFK Junior was ranting about something stupid. Made the point that the US stop selling bombs to Israel to drop on Palestinians… And for that he was arrested
Diane offered to bake the cake with a file in it , but I heard from him that he already broken out and was on the lam 🙂 that guy really is one of my heroes !
First order of business today was to deliver a screaming goat to my friend Katie at work. She raises goats and likes ridiculous things like this, so I went into deliver it. It’s a small plastic goat that when you push on it, it screams like a human. Evidently it’s a real thing… Look up screaming goats.
Anyway, as I was showing it around my friends, I made the sound and immediately heard a response… It was my friend Greg, who also had one !

My friend Crawford was back in town and met us for lunch at Beta… He used to be an intern here and was a really great guide to work with. It was fun walking around with him and seeing all of his old friends and some of the projects that we actually had started while he was still here.
Late afternoon, my friend Matt asked on slack whether anyone had a steak driver… We just happened to. I called Diane to see if we could lend it out and she said sure but she had a project that she wanted to do… So I picked up 25 6 foot steaks and rope at Home Depot and we went and drove them in.
thanks Matt if you hadn’t asked for the dick driver, we probably wouldn’t have gotten this done
I worked at home this morning to finish off an electronics project for work… So much more productive for me there. I got finished in time to walk with Diane to the precision hitch place just around the corner. It’s actually one of the only places that we can walk to that you can actually buy anything from.… They put a towing hitch on our RAV4 so that we can put our new bike rack on it.. And maybe even toast stuff for at some point.…
It was fun walking railroad tracks brought great memories of doing that with the boys
Today is Mother’s Day… Thank you to all the mothers out there… Particularly when I do a shout out to Diane one of the finest mothers I’ve ever met
Also Happy Mothers day to my Mom Judy. Dianes Mom Marcia.. my Seeeeeester Mary, Sister in Law SHawn and all the rest of you .. you knwo who you are 🙂
Don’t really celebrate these days like that… But we did take a nice hike up the catamount trail and then down the honey hollow trail. It was beautiful as ever… We’re trying to stay off the smaller trails because everything is so wet.
